I woke up for my run this morning and knew something was wrong. My knees were inflamed and really sore, so I iced, I elevated, I rested. Then, I emailed my doctor. It’s been going on for a few weeks now, and I want to know for sure if it’s runner’s knee or tendinitis or maybe even IT Band Syndrome. My doctor responded with a link to a Runner’s World article with hamstring stretches and a strength exercise. She mentioned that the typical treatment for runner’s knee is rest, ice and strength training. So she said to start with that and if it doesn’t help, in a few weeks to make an appointment. She said it might help save me a co-pay. How great is my doctor? 
So, I’m still going to cross train with spin, and start adding in more leg strength training exercises, and hopefully all the ice and resting and whatnot will help.
